A massive weather system that threw a blanket of dust over Sydney is set to generate more unusual conditions across NSW.

The Bureau of Meteorology on Friday issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds over the state’s southeast — stretching from the Victorian border up to the Hunter region.

Gusts of more than 90km/h are expected, and possible blizzards in the Alpine areas.

Sydney Airport has been restricted to using only one runway, which is already impacting travellers leaving and arriving in the city.

“International and Domestic terminals are experiencing some flight delays. Please contact your airline for more information,” the airport tweeted on Friday morning.

Qantas is warning passengers of delays, as is Virgin Australia. “Sydney and Melbourne Airports have reduced the number of flights allowed to arrive and depart each hour, which is impacting all airlines,” Virgin said in a statement.

“This may also affect flights arriving and departing into other destinations across the network.”

One Australian was forced to wait two months for his package to be delivered and was left in disbelief when he discovered the ridiculous reason for the delay.

His brother uploaded a photo of the late package to Reddit, with the caption: “My brother waited 2 months for this package to arrive.”

One look at the delivery makes the reason it took so long very clear.

The package had mistakenly been sent to Austria five times before finally being delivered to Australia.

There were five stamps on the package that read “Missent to Austria” and it seems even the postal workers in Austria were getting fed up with the package continually being sent to them because next to the last stamp they wrote “AGAIN”.

“Only a special kind of stupid,” one Reddit user commented about the error.

It seems that other users have had very similar experiences

“In South Australia we have a stamp for stuff meant for South Africa,” one user wrote.

“I live in Austria and my family add ‘EUROPE’ to my address due to Christmas presents having been sent to Australia instead, several times, so this definitely goes both ways,” another added.

The NSW police chief has backed the decision to allow convicted drug smuggler Renae Lawrence to spend her first night in Australia with her family rather than in custody.

Lawrence arrived back in Australia yesterday after spending more than 13 years behind bars for her part in the Bali Nine drug smuggling attempt in 2005.

She arrived back in Newcastle with her family on Thursday but will still have to face up to outstanding warrants she had before she left Australia 13 years ago.

Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has confirmed she will have to answer to those warrants — just not immediately.

“I know she’s sinned and she’s paid a fairly heavy price for that,” he said in Sydney on Thursday.

“There are other circumstances where we’d be waiting on the plane and we’d arrest the individual when they got off the plane.” Police will instead organise with Lawrence’s lawyers to bring her to a police station to face the allegations she led police on a high-speed chase in a stolen car in 2005.

A reporter covering a football game in the US got a lot closer to the action than she thought she would after she was tacked to the ground by one of the players live on air.

ESPN reporter Laura Rutledge was standing on the sideline and speaking into the camera when two players came barrelling towards her.

University of Georgia player Prather Hudson was blocking an opponent when he crashed into Ms Rutledge and sent her tumbling to the ground.

Fortunately everyone was okay, with the reporter sending out a tweet to thank everyone for helping her up.

Mr Hudson apologised on Twitter but he didn’t just leave it at that. He also decided it would be a perfect opportunity to ask Ms Rutledge out, writing online: “Hey @LauraMRutledge really sorry I knocked you down, but… I can pick you up at 7.”

But the married journalist wasn’t having any of it and simply replied with a laughing face emoji.
